Before you stands a huge mound of pulsating earth, forming and reforming its shape as it grows and changes. It is an Elemental, a mindless creature created in a time long past and given life for one purpose only, to act as an instrument of violence and destruction. With what passes for a head the beast looks about the room and then stares directly at you, cold murder in its eyes. For a moment it does nothing, then from its mouth there comes a dire moan that sends shivers down your spine. Stepping back to the door you consider your options and surprisingly this does not take long at all. You have no idea how to fight it, or even if it can be killed, but with nowhere to go you have no choice but to attack.

If you have the Dragonclaw in your possession turn to section 423. If you do not, you must fight the Elemental with the weapon you have at hand. It has a combat value of 19 and an endurance rating of 14. If you defeat the elemental turn to section 63. If the elemental overwhelms you and you are defeated then it is here that your quest ends. In another life the gods may grant you better luck.
